Las Madres

SONOMA CARNEROS

We're constantly exploring new vineyards for all of our varietals, but lately we've engaged in the most vineyard experimentation with Syrah. One of the new vineyards we're very excited about is Las Madres, in a cool corner of Sonoma Carneros. After tasting several excellent Syrah from this site made by other producers, we harvested our first fruit in 2010 and the results so far have been outstanding.

Las Madres offers a true sense of terroir, producing wines that in our experience could come only from this vineyard. They feature a distinctive black and green olive tapenade aroma, savory herbs and smoked meats along with gorgeous blueberry and blackberry fruit and hints of lavender. Planted to Entav 174 and 300 clones and yielding about 3 tons to the acre, we believe this vineyard has everything necessary to produce spectacular single vineyard wine. Stay tuned!
